Main content


A joint ‘Initiating Application (Family Law)’ is being piloted by the Family Law Courts as part of the Combined Registry program. The Family Court is also piloting a new response to the application.

Under the pilot, clients can file the ‘Initiating Application (Family Law)’ to seek final and interim orders in either court when interim orders are filed at the same time as final orders in family law matters.

If using the ‘Initiating Application (Family Law)’ in the Family Court, respondents must use the ‘Response to Initiating Application’.

If using the ‘Initiating Application (Family Law)’ in the Federal Magistrates Court, respondents must use the current FMC Response form.

You may still file the Family Court or Federal Magistrates Courts’ prescribed forms if you prefer.
